LRRC6 regulates biogenesis of motile cilia by aiding FOXJ1 translocation into the nucleus.
Article in Cell communication and signaling : CCS, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLRRC6 is an assembly factor for dynein arms in the cytoplasm of motile ciliated cells, and when mutated, dynein arm components remained in the cytoplasm. Here, we demonstrate the role of LRRC6 in the active nuclear translocation of FOXJ1, a master regulator for cilia-associated gene transcription.
methodsWe generated Lrrc6 knockout (KO) mice, and we investigated the role of LRRC6 on ciliopathy development by using proteomic, transcriptomic, and immunofluorescence analysis. Experiments on mouse basal cell organoids confirmed the biological relevance of our findings.
resultsThe absence of LRRC6 in multi-ciliated cells hinders the assembly of ODA and IDA components of cilia; in this study, we showed that the overall expression of proteins related to cilia decreased as well. Expression of cilia-related transcripts, specifically ODA and IDA components, dynein axonemal assembly factors, radial spokes, and central apparatus was lower in Lrrc6 KO mice than in wild-type mice. We demonstrated that FOXJ1 was present in the cytoplasm and translocated into the nucleus when LRRC6 was expressed and that this process was blocked by INI-43, an importin α inhibitor.
conclusionsTaken together, these results hinted at the LRRC6 transcriptional regulation of cilia-related genes via the nuclear translocation of FOXJ1. Video Abstract.
